Amazon sellers dealing with product compliance, international shipping, inventory distribution and brand protection now have four additional training resources available through Seller University. In an update posted on Seller Central, Amazon highlighted four new Seller University courses covering Testing, Inspection, and Certification, Global Warehouse and Distribution, Amazon Global Logistics shipping from Vietnam to the United States, and Transparency labeling.
The courses are designed to help sellers understand processes that can otherwise become complicated as their businesses expand across products and markets. They may be particularly useful for sellers importing goods, managing compliance requirements, using Amazon's logistics network or protecting branded products from counterfeiting.

Four new areas of seller education
The newly highlighted training covers different stages of the selling process, from verifying that a product meets applicable requirements to moving inventory internationally and correctly labeling products protected through Amazon Transparency. Seller University provides educational resources to sellers at no additional course fee. Sellers can access the training through Seller Central by navigating to Learn and selecting Seller University.
Understanding Testing, Inspection, and Certification
The Testing, Inspection, and Certification Guide focuses on Amazon's TIC Direct Product Verification process. Product compliance can be a significant challenge for sellers, particularly when Amazon requests documentation or verification for regulated product categories. A compliance issue can affect a seller's ability to list or continue selling a product.
According to the Seller Central update, the course explains how sellers can review compliance notifications, determine the applicable compliance type, select TIC service providers and create Test Request Forms.
It also covers submitting product samples and monitoring the progress of verification.
This training could be particularly valuable for sellers who receive compliance requests but are unfamiliar with the testing and verification workflow. Understanding the process before submitting documents or samples can help sellers avoid preventable mistakes and better manage compliance cases.
Global Warehouse and Distribution explained
Another course introduces Amazon's Global Warehouse and Distribution service and its operational process. The training is aimed at sellers interested in moving inventory from its source and using a broader Amazon-managed logistics process.
The course covers warehousing services in Shenzhen, China, along with customs clearance, cross-border transportation and inventory allocation managed through the service.
For sellers sourcing products from China, understanding this model could help them evaluate whether an Amazon-managed logistics route fits their supply-chain strategy. Sellers should still compare costs, delivery requirements, inventory levels and their existing freight arrangements before deciding whether to use a particular logistics service.
Amazon Global Logistics expands Vietnam-to-US education
Amazon has also introduced Seller University training specifically covering the Amazon Global Logistics Vietnam-to-US service. The course explains the end-to-end ocean freight process for moving goods from Vietnam to the United States.
Sellers can learn about standard and express shipping options, inbound placement configurations and customs clearance guidance. The training also covers Ship to Amazon Warehousing and Distribution integrated logistics solutions.
The course may be especially relevant as sellers diversify manufacturing and sourcing beyond China. Sellers sourcing products in Vietnam can use the training to better understand how inventory can move from the country of origin into Amazon's US logistics and fulfillment network.
However, sellers should review current rates, eligibility requirements, transit times and service availability inside Seller Central before making shipping decisions, as logistics conditions and program terms can change.
Transparency course focuses on correct product labeling
Amazon's fourth course covers labeling requirements associated with Transparency, its product serialization and authenticity program. The Transparency Labeling Guide explains label components, how to select the appropriate label type, differences between printing methods and where labels should be placed on products.
Correct labeling is important because products enrolled in Transparency are subject to code verification. Problems with labels, printing or placement can interfere with scanning and potentially create delays in getting protected inventory through the required verification process.
The course can therefore be useful not only for brand owners but also for manufacturers, packaging teams and other partners responsible for preparing Transparency-enabled products.
Why sellers should pay attention to the new courses
The four courses address areas where mistakes can become expensive. A compliance problem can disrupt a listing. Incorrect product labeling can interfere with verification. Poorly planned international shipping can increase costs or delay inventory. Limited understanding of customs and inbound processes can also complicate replenishment.
Seller University gives sellers an opportunity to understand these processes before they encounter a problem. Sellers involved in private-label businesses, international sourcing or regulated product categories may find the compliance and Transparency courses particularly useful. Sellers sourcing from China or Vietnam can focus on the logistics courses according to their supply chains.
How to access the courses
Sellers can sign in to Seller Central, open the Learn section and select Seller University. From there, they can look for the relevant training on Testing, Inspection, and Certification, Global Warehouse and Distribution, Amazon Global Logistics Vietnam-to-US shipping and Transparency labeling.
Sellers should also check their own Seller Central account for the latest program requirements and eligibility information. Training materials explain how Amazon services work, but the requirements applicable to a particular seller, product or shipment may vary.
A useful learning opportunity for growing Amazon businesses
Amazon's latest Seller University additions bring compliance, logistics and brand-protection education together around several important parts of operating an international Amazon business. For newer sellers, the courses can provide a clearer understanding of unfamiliar Amazon processes. Experienced sellers can use them to train staff, review existing workflows or explore logistics services they have not previously used.
The practical benefit is straightforward: sellers who understand compliance requirements, shipping workflows and labeling rules before taking action are better positioned to reduce avoidable errors and manage their Amazon operations more efficiently.
For businesses planning to expand internationally or strengthen their brands, the four courses are worth reviewing as part of their Seller Central training and operational planning.
